UniLink

Preparations

A critical component of a properly tted head

support system, the UniLink Headrest Hardware is

intended to connect to the wheelchair’s back,

providing the user the necessary support and

stability for their neck and head.

Designed to be compatible with all Stealth

Products’ ball mount-based pads, UniLink’s link-

style hardware provides ample adjustment for

Stealth headrests. Multiple planes of adjustment for

posterior, anterior, and angle allow full surface

contact while accommodating postural anomalies,

and individual link adjustment capabilities isolate

planes and angles, providing reinforcement to even

the most complex head support solutions.

The UniLink Headrest Hardware increases a

user’s ability to successfully engage in daily

activities, as well as promotes upright posture and

the maintenance of a healthy head position.

Installation

Installing UniLink Headrest Hardware

Installation

Loosen the handle (A) of the seat back mount by turning it counterclockwise

and insert the headrest hardware shaft into the square receptacle.

M2 Hex Key to secure the stop

collar in position.

proper position and the shaft is

inserted fully into the seat back

mount, tighten handle (A) by

turning it clockwise until the

shaft is snug in the mount.

Making Adjustments

The UniLink Headrest Hardware can be

adjusted in three planes: depth, height and

angle. To adjust one of these planes,

loosen any of the three M5 screws using an

M4 Hex Key. Change the orientation of the

link and re-tighten the screw until snug.

To adjust depth, height, or

angle of the headrest, loosen

these three screws and re-

tighten them when the proper

location is reached.

CAUTION

Care should be taken when tightening fasteners. Over-tightening of

screws may lead to stripped threads and component failure.
